SURVEY
does anybody remember recolle existing at all in whatever world you're remembering stuff from
bc i havent met anyone who does so far
even when people remember plenty of places that do exist like towns in japan or countries and cities in europe
i haven't seen anyone who remembers recolle yet
if anyone does remember it speak up now
if no one does then it must mean....something
idk what

other than that
if anyone wants to go looking for the tunnels that we found in august don't bother
i just tried them and they're basically gone
like they never even existed
can't even find the entrances to them
the same might happen to the new ones too after a while
so if you want to go looking in them do it sooner rather than later

EDIT 1/23/18: if any rich people are willing to donate a gopro to livestream the subway tunnels
hmu
we're trying to find out what happens when they close up next too

yeah neither have i exactly
but i've got enough of a sense of geography from other-me's world to take a good guess
this survey only really works if someone DOES actually remember recolle and then disproves all of this
otherwise we're never gonna be sure
but it's the best i've got

[glaciers]

I know Japan exists here and there. So that's something.
America's a big place. I don't even know all the cities in Seattle.
I think somebody would need to be from Recolle in their other life. It could exist and people could be unaware of it.

[frostythehitman]

it's all mixed up between real and fantasy in the places i remember
camp lehigh doesn't exist here, but it's supposed to be in virginia
bastogne, belgium is real but kronas, russia isn't
arnhem, netherlands is real but auschenberg, germany isn't
and all the countries are the same
it's like the major details match up but the smaller stuff gets murky and can go either way

[glaciers]

I didn't find anything when I googled Yuuei.
But I don't remember anything really specific about the geography or cities.
I guess the places can take some liberties.

[frostythehitman]

you think it's just different geography
or retrospec somehow messing with our memories to make everything like an off brand location of a real one?

[glaciers]

Both seem equally likely at this point.
But my other life was a high school where they trained superheroes.
That seems pretty extreme.

[frostythehitman]

whoa okay hold up
a HIGH SCHOOL to train superheroes???
are you serious?
you're right that DOES sound extreme
they just let kids do that?

[ granted, other-Bucky was high school age too, and so was Toro. But they were also a highly trained elite military team, nOT A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ]

[glaciers]

Yes.
I'm one hundred percent serious.
Everybody had superpowers.
I currently have a superpower.

[frostythehitman]

EVERYBODY?
jesus
your memories must be NUTS
mine are crazy enough when there's only like ten people tops in the world with superpowers
but if everyone's got them i guess you'd NEED schools or else everyone would be going off half cocked all the time

[glaciers]

I set myself on fire and make ice, it's weird.
Only ten? That seems low.

[frostythehitman]

fire AND ice?
damn somebody won the superpower lottery
we had two human fireballs on my team
but no ice powers or anything

okay maybe it was twenty idk
there were few enough of them that there wasn't really anything set in place for how to deal with them
it was more of a case by case basis i think
where all the cases ended with "throw them onto a military team and pit them against the nazis' superteam"

[glaciers]

I'm not sure how worth it it was.

That's weird.
Did you have superpowers or were you not part of the twenty?
Wait how far back were you from?

[frostythehitman]

are you telling me the powers aren't all they're cracked up to be?

no i didn't have any powers
i was just really really good at what i did
for when they needed something a little more subtle than human fireballs and a guy dressed in an american flag costume
and no the bit about nazis wasn't a typo
this was all happening in ww2, everything i remember is from like the 30s and 40s

[glaciers]

Powers are fine.
Family problems.

I'm pretty sure I was from the future.
Some gadgets seem more advanced than right now.
Does it match up with our history books mostly?

[frostythehitman]

oh
but at least those are unrelated

it kind of matches up
like
we were around for the aftermath of the battle of bastogne except there were nazi vampires all over
or we were supporting operation uranus but it was to stop a red skull face guy with a doomsday laser from destroying a village that never existed irl
but far as i can tell all the major parts are the same
it's just the details that are way crazier

[glaciers]

I'm not so sure.

That sounds.
Like a comic book.
Wild and crazy retellings of real events but with more 'flavor' splashed into it.

[frostythehitman]

[ James isn't even sure how family problems and superpowers can tie in together, frankly--it was never a factor in other-Bucky's family, and he doesn't know anything about the families of any of the superpowered people he worked with either.

He's also not enough of a jackass to ask for more detail about it from someone he barely knows. ]

well actually
they DID make comic books about us
but those stories are even crazier and stupider than what i remember

[glaciers]

They
get wilder than your memories?
Were there talking dinosaurs?

[frostythehitman]

[ Bucky goes digging through the stack of comics Retrospec gave him aka I went searching through all my old comic scans and comes back with a photo of this page. ]

[glaciers]

It's better than I could've imagined.

[frostythehitman]

i mean
i wouldn't be surprised if i did actually remember talking dinosaurs too
i did actually fight some nazi mad scientists
i'd buy it if you told me they actually tried this once

[glaciers]

What about talking cats.
Ever remembered one of those?

[frostythehitman]

funny you should ask
not only do i remember talking cats
but also talking dogs
and a tiger
and an eagle
and some frogs

[glaciers]

Was that also mad scientist work or are talking animals just a normal part of life there?

[frostythehitman]

who knows
i don't remember either way
probably mad scientist though
because if talking animals were normal we would've been using them as spies against each other in the forests wouldn't we
